Back to work in the morning after two weeks away. I'm 57 years old yet still feel the same level of fear and anxiety about returning to work as I did every Sunday night of my school days. It's a pisser, that's for sure.

Sunday morning entertainment. Guinness and Mills are absolutely wonderful in this underappreciated classic

If you're looking for something to listen to that goes well with a sunny autumn afternoon can I recommend losing yourself in this for a while. Eternal gratitude to @andrewmale.bsky.social for posting about it ages ago and making me aware of its existence

We watched the final episode of 70 up last night through a blur of tears. This is a beautiful eulogy to both Nick and the most extraordinary television programme we're ever likely to see in our fleeting lifetimes

I respect our British Culture. Do You?

If I was Prime Minister I’d rename the House of Lords to the House of Funkadelic.

Throughout Europe these small brass stones are reminders of where the path of racism ultimately leads. Each stone details a life cut short by the barbarity of the Nazis, ordinary people dragged from their homes and put on trains bound for camps in the east. This is just one short street in Brussels

My latest monthly playlist is now up on Spotify. It's a selection of music that I've heard on my travels this month that hopefully reflects the optimism and occasional melancholy that a change of season can bring.

I've wanted to see the Atomium since I was a small boy. Today I got to gaze at it. It was built in 1958 yet it still looks like it's been dropped here from a better more optimistic future.

Popped into René Magritte's local in Brussels (La Fleur en Papier Doré) what a brilliantly eccentric place (a bit like René)

A cosy bar in an Antwerp side street with a jazz quartet playing Django Reinhardt classics. I've had far worse Sunday afternoons.

During the afternoon and evening of September 10th 2001 a massive thunderstorm swept across New York City. On the 92nd floor of the North tower of the World Trade Center, artist in residence Monika Bravo was busy filming the storm from multiple angles.
